Info
Union Station, also known as Ogden Union Station, is a train station in Ogden, Utah, at the west end of Historic 25th Street, just south of the Ogden Intermodal Transit Center. It was formerly the junction of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads. The name Union Station was commonly given to train stations where tracks and facilities were shared by two or more railway companies. The station is currently home to the Utah State Railroad Museum.
Although Union Station no longer serves as a railway hub, it remains a cultural hub due to the museums located at the Station. The museums housed at the Station include the Utah State Railroad Museum, the Spencer S. Eccles Rail Center, the John M. Browning Firearms Museum, Utah Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and the Browning-Kimball Classic Car Museum. Gifts at the Station sells gifts and a variety of museum related items, books, prints, jewelry, and souvenirs. Gallery at the Station is a for sale exhibit that features local and regional artists every month. The Myra Powell Gallery features traveling exhibits and the Station's permanent art collection. Union Station Research Library has an extensive collection of historic Ogden photographs and documents available to the public.
The last long-distance passenger trains to use Union Station were the final runs of Amtrak's Pioneer through Ogden in May 1997. The adjacent Ogden Intermodal Transit Center currently serves the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) FrontRunner commuter rail line.
